Hmm, I don't think it is should be our (CPython) responsibility to keep track and maintain the list of the core devs of alternate Python implementations. Don't they have their own community / website? They have their own repo, bug tracker, governance model, and everything, right?
Core developers of Python implementations under PSF ownership were traditionally listed in committers.txt and developer log. This includes at least PyPy, Jython and IronPython. If you want to propose to change this, that should be a distinct discussion I suppose. I don't know the reason why it was originally decided to maintain this together, but I guess that the named lists are more a PSF thing than a CPython thing. If you intend to change this suddenly, the communities should get at least some transition time. I only know the situation of Jython, where no committers list is available. Currently it relies on the lists named above to identify committers.

I think it would also be a good idea to include core developers
of other Python implementations in such a document, in separate sections, e.g. for Jython, IronPython, PyPy, Stackless, etc

Someone has also said that they're working on tracking down the dormant core devs, but now I can't find that email.
I think the log is fine at it is, since it serves a different purpose.
The list should be in addition to the log, not replacing it.
Resources we already have:
- https://devguide.python.org/developers/
- https://bugs.python.org/user?%40action=search&iscommitter=1& %40pagesize=300&%40sort=username
- python-committers Subscribers List (but this is currently only for list admins to see - perhaps we could make that available to list members ?!)
- https://hg.python.org/committers.txt
- for the early days:
https://raw.githubusercontent.com/python/cpython/ e42b705188271da108de42b55d9344642170aa2b/Misc/HISTORY in combination with
https://github.com/python/cpython/blob/e42b705188271da108de42b55d9344 642170aa2b/Misc/ACKS (in those times, there was no direct access to the repo and all patches had to go through the team around Guido)
There's also:
- the members of the github team
- folks marked as committers as BPO
I don't recall if these are exposed via public lists though.
